Wildlife Friendly Bird Netting

Description

Using bird netting incorrectly can put animals such as birds and possums at risk of entanglement. That’s why this anti-bird netting has been designed with a smaller mesh size to prevent injuries or fatalities. Whether you need fruit tree netting to protect your orchard or vegetable garden netting to keep pests out, this is the right solution to keep your garden thriving and safe.

Features and Benefits

Wildlife-friendly design: Mesh size of less than 5mm complies with cruelty prevention laws, preventing harm to birds, flying foxes, and other wildlife.

Strong and durable: Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and U.V. stabilised for long-lasting use.

Multi-purpose protection: Ideal for use as fruit tree netting, vegetable garden netting, or anti-bird netting for flowers and shrubs.

Lightweight yet sturdy: The 30gsm woven mesh won’t weigh down or damage your plants but is strong enough to deter pests.

Compliance with regulations: Meets the new netting laws in Victoria, where illegal netting use can result in fines of up to $660.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is Wildlife Friendly Bird Netting important?
Using bird netting that doesn’t meet mesh size standards can cause severe injuries or even death to native wildlife. This netting is designed to prevent animals from getting trapped while still protecting your crops from birds and other pests.

2. What’s the difference between fruit tree netting and vegetable garden netting?
The primary difference is in the intended use. Fruit tree netting is typically used to cover trees and prevent birds from eating ripening fruits, while vegetable garden netting is designed to protect smaller plants and crops like tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs from both birds and insects.

3. Can I use this netting in areas other than gardens?
Yes, this netting is versatile. It works well not only in vegetable gardens and orchards but also in flower beds, balconies, and patios where birds might be a nuisance.

4. What are the new netting laws in Victoria?
Since 1st September 2021, new regulations require that all household fruit netting must have a mesh size of 5mm x 5mm or less when fully stretched. The laws were introduced to prevent wildlife injuries caused by entanglement in larger mesh netting. Fines apply for non-compliance.
